2012 was good. Here are some things I made. 2013 is also shaping up well. I am working on wrapping up my biggest project of life so far. Track the progress of ‘Wind & Rattlesnakes‘ a documentary about climbing in Lander, Wyoming. And… I’m heading to Patagonia next week for two months to film NOLS courses. Then in June I should be joining Expedition Denali (the 1st vid below) in climbing Denali, the highest peak in N America. Happiness.
Cut this short promo for Elemental Training Center here in Lander. I just use the climbing wall at the gym but the group workouts look pretty fun too!
Had a bunch of fun filming Lander locals climbing at some of the most beautiful crags around Lander. I debuted this last week at our local Reel Rock showing where we had around 80 people show up and raised over $700 to support local bolting efforts!
Finished up a couple freelance design projects, it’s always nice to take a break from final cut and get back to the ol’ photoshop and illustrator every now and again.
Trout Unlimited – “Conserving, protecting, and restoring North America’s cold water fisheries and their watersheds”
My friend Scott over at the Wyoming branch of the nationally run non-profit asked me for a Trout Unlimited logo that was specific to Wyoming. We decided to take the iconic “Bucking Bronco” and add a little twist.
International Climbers’ Festival – Started 18 years ago by climbing legend Todd Skinner, the Climbers’ Fest is a pretty cool event put on every year by the Lander community in an effort to get people out and well… climb and drink beer! I’ve volunteered to help out with their marketing campaign for the past two years now. Here’s this years poster.
Oh. And here are some horses.
Just got back from a 34 day training course to become an instructor with the NOLS. Here are some photos from the training which took place in the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico and Cochise Stronghold in Arizona. First order of business as a new instructor is teaching a hiking course in Alaska!
Brian and I spent three weeks in Arizona shooting for NOLS at both Cochise Stronghold and the Santa Teresa mountains. Here are some stills from the trip. Stay tuned for upcoming releases on http://www.nols.tv to see the footage we shot.
Took me a while to get this one edited as I didn’t have any specific deadline for it until recently. With the help of NOLS and other local sponsors I hosted a showing of the Reel Rock Tour for Lander and finished up this video to debut it at the show. We had a great turnout with almost 70 people packing into the Gannett Grill to watch some sweet sweet climbing porn. Check out my vid of me and some buds bouldering in Utah!
Very excited about this video I shot of my buddy Chris sending his hardest new line of the summer. Check it out!
